High School Football Coach’s INSANE Profanity Laced Tired (SFW Audio)

By

"Clear eyes, full hearts?" More like angry eyes and mean hearts. This isn't fictional Coach Erik Taylor of the Dillon Panthers here, it's as yet unidentified high school football coach who completely went off the deep end. The profanity-laced tired is safe for work because all the swear words are bleeped out. (See footnote one) It's a must-listen because this coach with a … [Read more...] about High School Football Coach’s INSANE Profanity Laced Tired (SFW Audio)

AFL Team Offers Terrell Owens, Chicago Rush, Not Bears Step Up

By

Well at least one Chicago professional football team offered Terrell Owens. No, not the Bears of the NFL. But instead the Rush of the Arena Football League. Go here to see why I think the Bears should step up to the T.O. plate. According to a Rush team statement, the team “extended a contract to six-time NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver Terrell Owens for the 2012 season. The … [Read more...] about AFL Team Offers Terrell Owens, Chicago Rush, Not Bears Step Up

Chicago Bears Need to Take a Flier on Terrell Owens

By

Ok, so no one showed up at Terrell Owens' NFL scout workout day. No team is interested. Aw, poor baby, so sad, too bad. But if if and buts were candy and nuts then we'd all have a merry christmas. The Chicago Bears aren't really in a position to lose much here. TO is desperate for a gig anywhere, so the asking price will be low. The Monsters of the Midway won't have to worry … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears Need to Take a Flier on Terrell Owens

#11 Michigan State Spartans-#16 Nebraska Cornhuskers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

By

Maybe I was wrong to doubt Michigan State Spartans QB Kirk Cousins? Back in the summer, I believed the Spartans would be the 4th best team in the Big Ten. I was dazzled by the sexy new college football newcomer to the conference, the Nebraska Cornhuskers and their vaunted blackshirt defense. I was wrong. I did pick State to win at Michigan, but I did not see last week's … [Read more...] about #11 Michigan State Spartans-#16 Nebraska Cornhuskers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

Patriots Rookie Marcus Cannon Beats Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Returns to Football

By

There's something very extraordinary about New England Patriots offensive lineman Marcus Cannon, who practiced Tuesday for the first time this season. Cannon, a fifth-round pick out of TCU, found out he had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (strains of which are some of the deadliest cancers out there) just days before the NFL Draft last April. He was considered a second-round prospect … [Read more...] about Patriots Rookie Marcus Cannon Beats Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Returns to Football

Tuesday’s Three Stars: Kane, Hossa Shine as Hawks Pluck Ducks

By

It wasn't the prettiest game in the history of the NHL, but that scarcely mattered as Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp scored goals and Patrick Kane picked up two assists in the Chicago Blackhawks' 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks at the United Center. Kane also picked up the winning shootout tally, and Corey Crawford made 29 saves in the win. … [Read more...] about Tuesday’s Three Stars: Kane, Hossa Shine as Hawks Pluck Ducks

West Virginia to Replace Missouri in Big 12

By

The carousel keeps moving in college football conference expansion and relocation. Today it leaked that the West Virginia Mountaineers have been approved to replace Missouri Tigers in the Big 12 conference. The conference board of directors approved the move to take place once the Mizzou move to the SEC is complete. WVU leaving the Big East obviously leaves an already very … [Read more...] about West Virginia to Replace Missouri in Big 12
